Trial 1: Clockwise setup.
Full bucket - no swirl
1/2 bucket - center dimpling, barely any swirlage
1/4 bucket - noticable swirlage
1/8 bucket - massive swirlage

Trial 2: Counter-clockwise setup.
No noticable differences throughout experiment

It looks like it works. From observations, I would definitely want to widen the circular chamber in the block. It seems that the higher the water column is in relation to the width, the slower the circular flow. With a wider (and therefore relatively flatter) chamber, I should get massive swirling in the block.

It'll work! Woo hoo!

And the guys in detail weren't even upset I screwed up their bucket.

Edit: Since I didn't have sparkles, I just used cigarette ashes from the ashtray out back. Sometimes we must deal with nastiness in the advancement of science.
